[quote=laffygiraffe]I think the best presents are given on a Tuesday, afternoon not for a birthday, or Christmas or for Ground Hog Day, but just because you made it and you love them and and love to give them presents.
My daughter dated who felt like this. Rather than give gifts for Christmas, Mothers day, etc. he preferred to give throughout the year.
I tend to agree with that. The person you are giving a gift to could be having a bad day, and you giving them a gift really cheers them up.

I personally think that getting a gift every know and then is better than many at one time. Each one means more if they are received one at a time. This is just my opionion.

I've made Christmas table runners for my two SIL and two aunts. The aunts get them for their birthdays (11/25 and 12/2) so that was easy. I think I will give my SIL theirs when they come for Thanksgiving. Doesn't make sense to me to give a Christmas item on Christmas Day since they can't use it until the next year.

Oh believe me, you are not alone on this crazy train. I am horrible about that. Sometimes I just can't wait, give them to them first time I see them because I am bursting with excitement, then have to make some little thing to go with it for the actual event coming up that I just couldn't wait for. Oh dear you have lots of company on this train I'm sure. Me for one. :)

What if you waited patiently and the day before xmas, they got hit by a runaway bus? It happens.
Life is uncertain---give with all your heart everyday. and Don't Wait for an arbitrary day on an imaginary calendar to tell your loved ones you love them. Or to give them a quilt.
If you want to have a big gift exchange on a specific date and be sure everyone raves about your gifts, then you'll have to wait, like everyone else.
Me? I send my family gifts when they get done. And I am always making something so I can have a gift on hand for a surprise event. I also have very few of my own projects in my house, which I plan on fixing this coming year.
Why torture yourself? Give it. Enjoy life all you can. Tick tock.
